Air Conditioning FAQs
How does SEER2 translate into real savings in Northwest Chicagoland?
SEER2 reflects seasonal efficiency under updated testing. You get the benefit when the system is right-sized, ducts are sealed, filters are clean, and the condenser has proper airflow. Those basics turn the rating into lower summer bills.
What are signs my AC is oversized even if it cools quickly?
Fast cool-downs, short cycles, uneven rooms, and sticky indoor air hint at oversizing. Ask for a load calculation and static pressure test to confirm before replacing equipment.
Which thermostat features actually help comfort on muggy days?
Look for dehumidify on cool, adaptive recovery, and staging control. These features run longer at lower output to pull more moisture while holding temperature.
Can I improve indoor air quality without hurting airflow?
Yes. Use the highest MERV media filter your blower can handle and keep coils clean. Add targeted IAQ like a whole-home dehumidifier or purifier only after verifying static pressure is in range.
What should I do after a power outage if the AC will not restart?
Give it a few minutes for built-in delays, then check breakers and the outdoor disconnect. If the fan hums or the breaker trips again, stop cycling power and schedule service.
Where should the outdoor unit go on a small city lot?
Choose a level pad with 2 to 3 feet of side clearance and unobstructed top discharge. Keep it away from downspouts and lint from dryer vents, and allow service access to panels.
How do I reduce hot-room complaints on the second floor?
Start with open returns, a clean filter, and fully open supplies. Balancing registers, fixing crushed ducts, and adding returns often solve it. Zoning or variable-speed equipment can help stubborn cases.
Do ductless mini-splits pair well with a central AC system?
They do. Keep central air for main living areas and add ductless heads for problem rooms or additions. Independent controls let you cool only the spaces you use.
How can I keep the AC quieter for me and my neighbors?
Level the unit, maintain clearances, and use proper vibration pads. Avoid fencing in the top discharge. A clean coil and correct fan speeds also lower perceived noise.
What prep helps an install or service visit go smoothly?
Clear access to equipment, note recent issues, label hard-to-find returns, and secure pets. If you’ve changed filters or thermostat settings, share that with the technician at arrival.
